As we kick off the new year, we’re excited to share the latest enhancements to Binti. This month’s updates bring a range of enhancements aimed at improving usability, streamlining workflows, and ensuring data consistency across Binti. Refer to our full release notes for additional detail and screenshots where applicable.

📑 Workflow Enhancements

• Licensing Binti now provides caregivers with fillable PDFs for all Supporting Documents, allowing them to complete forms digitally on their devices. Caregivers can download, fill out, and re-upload the completed forms, eliminating the need to print and streamlining the process. Please note that Supporting Documents requiring a signature will still need to be printed for signature.
  
  
• Licensing When caregivers add a Reference or Other Adult without an email address, a clearer message now instructs them to work directly with the agency, instead of displaying worker-facing language.
  
  
• Licensing If the youngest age a caregiver is approved to care for is higher than the oldest, a clearer error message highlights which field needs correction.
  
  
• Licensing Agency workers can now set the default language for the Caregiver Portal, ensuring a more accessible licensing process. This feature is available for customers with Spanish forms or AI translation enabled.
  
  
• Licensing Automated email notifications like “Applying to Approved” are now automatically logged as case notes, ensuring a comprehensive case history. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you do not yet have automated email notifications set up.
  
  
• Licensing Agencies can now require a Family ID before updating an application’s status, helping maintain data consistency.
  
  
• Family Finding & Engagement When authoring bulk relative notification letters, you are now directed straight to a page with printable letters, eliminating the need for a new tab that could be blocked by pop-up settings.
  
  
• Family Finding & Engagement  Page breaks can now be added to bulk relative notification letters, offering greater flexibility in formatting and outreach.

📊 Reporting & Data Enhancements

• Licensing The Time to Approval Report now displays all sub-agency data by default, with filter options for further refinement.
  
  
• Licensing The Time to Approval CSV Download now includes Application Template, Family ID, and Caregiver Name as columns, improving external data analysis capabilities.
  
  
• Licensing The Days Since Application Signed report is now available for private agencies, offering insights into licensing process timelines.

🔄 Simplifying Household & Applicant Management

Please Note: These features are only available to agencies with Caregiver Documents 2.0. We are actively working to enable them for all of our customers.

• Licensing Easily swap primary and co-applicants or Other Adults and Co-Applicants without contacting support. Roles in the household can be switched with a single click on the Applicant Data page. Binti will automatically generate role-based requirements.
  
  
• Licensing Customer Support can now remove co-applicants from an application, without deleting the user’s historical data. Simply contact Customer Support for assistance.

🔧 Bug Fixes

• Family Finding & Engagement Names with apostrophes now load correctly in Family Finding & Engagement, preventing errors that previously disrupted certain pages.

These updates are part of our commitment to making Binti more efficient and user-friendly. Stay tuned for more improvements, and as always, let us know how we can support your work by providing feedback below this post!
